Even after all the years of parties and events, it still comes as a surprise to see how much preparation, effort, time and SPACE it requires to make lunch for 550 people. Today is dedicated to a huge event tomorrow at a Philadelphia University.

The whole staff is involved to make three different types of sandwiches, garden salads, cookies and fruit salad. The assembly line is one that is stretching through our whole warehouse, part of the kitchen and our sister company’s kitchen too!

We’re sure tomorrow will be a huge success and we’re happy our whole kitchen staff can come together to execute this feat.

We cannot say thank you enough to those who take the time to give us feedback on our performance. The following two reviews just came in and we couldn’t wait to share the good news.

This letter is from a satisfied Mother of the Bride who just held her daughter’s  reception at The Phoenixville Foundry.We were so happy to be a part of their special day and we were humbled by this positive review.

“Just wanted to take the time to send out a big thank you for all you did to make Megan’s dreams come true. It was a pleasure working with you. The reception was a truly elegant affair! Megan’s every wish was granted. The supervisor, bartenders, and service staff were fitting of a queen. I’m sure that Chelsea Clinton could not have had it any better:) The food was absolutely incredible, and the raw bar was a big hit. Thanks for suggesting it. Your team worked like a well oiled machine. I just could not believe how efficient the operation was from beginning to end. However, the best part was the attitude of your staff. They weren’t just doing their jobs. They made everyone feel important and welcome.
 
I will certainly highly recommend J. Scott Catering to anyone I know in need of catering services.”

The following letter was received by a happy Bride and Groom who held their wedding at The Radnor Hunt. After having some issues that were out of everyone’s control – the event was a success!

“Jimmy and I would like to thank you for everything you did for us. There wasn’t a beat missed. And considering a power outage and downed trees everywhere, you would have never known!

The food was amazing from beginning to the end. I was even able to sit down and enjoy my dinner. I am still getting compliments! Amazing is all we can say about J. Scott Catering – just too good to be true!”

It was our pleasure! Thank you for your business and support and we hope to work with you again!

Once a year all the talented vendors on the Main Line come out to celebrate their achievements in style for “Best of the Main Line” at Drexelbrook. J. Scott Catering was once again nominated by our dedicated clients to award us Best Caterer. We were flattered and humbled for this honor for the sixth year running.
 

The event was chocked full of delicious foods, desserts, floral arrangements, clothing, jewelry and gorgeous displays around every corner. We chose to enjoy the summer with a chic yacht theme. We set sail with nautical flags, linen overlays, blue water and hanging displays. The guests came through and danced the night away while enjoying all the Best had to offer.

We served a Smoked Mozzarella and Bacon Stuffed Crab Cake with Scallop Aioli, Lettuce and Tomato with homemade Old Bay Chips. A summertime favorite with a twist!

As if it wasn’t a thrill enough to be a part of the evening, J. Scott also won 1st Place for Best Display of the night! We were so proud to have all our hard work pay off!

Thank you to our dedicated staff for working so hard to making J. Scott a success, and most importantly, thank you to all our clients for your continued support and business. We couldn’t be the Best without the best!

We’re sure we weren’t the only ones who suffered from the severe storm that blew through the area recently. Power outages, downed trees and wires were just the tip of the iceberg that many locals faced. Luckily, we didn’t have any serious damage to our shop, but we did lose power to all our major appliances, which in the catering world, is beyond crippling.
 
Our two walk-in refrigerators, hood ventilation system and our walk-in freezer were all without electricity, and with ten events requiring food preparation between Friday and Sunday, we needed a solution.

Thursday evening required all hands on deck to load all our refrigerated trucks with all the food from our walk-ins. This was no easy feat, but it was necessary to make it through.
 
First thing Friday morning we received a delivery of major proportion – a tow truck pulling a huge generator to power all our electrical needs. This generator has enough juice to power half of Malvern!

With our electric back in place, it was time to make sure that our customers didn’t suffer from the slight set-back. We worked hard to make up for lost time and all ten events were successful and prompt. We strive to take bumps in the road in stride, and while some of the clients for the weekend didn’t have power themselves, they did have the service and product they expected.
